4 Years, 3 Babies on the way, 2 People in Love, and 1 Happy Marriage

I want to say happy anniversary to my very wonderful and loving husband, James. He has been such a good, honest, rock for me to lean on, man even before we got married. 4 years ago today I walked down the aisle as his bride to see my future husband. We said our vows to love and cherish each other forever and have been wonderfully together ever since!

We have seen our struggles, and we have our wonderful times together. But I know that all we have been through has helped us become stronger together and made our marriage GREAT! I can only imagine what the next 4 years will hold. So much more change than we can imagine!!!!!! I know it will be hard. I know it will be fun. But I also know that we can do anything as long as we are together.

So, thank you James for the last 4 years! I am so happy to have spent them with you and I love you more today than any other day before! God has truely blessed me with you! I can't wait to see you as the wonderful father to our boys that I know you will be!

Our Wedding

What were your wedding colors?--Periwinkle and yellow

What was your wedding dress like?--strapless, beaded with Swarovski crystals, had a boned corrset in it and it laced up the back. It had a sweatheart neckline and a chapel train.

Can you name your bridesmaids?--Jami, Elizabeth, Amy, Kristen, and Mary

What about your groomsmen?--Chris (James is in his wedding in a week!), Austin, Joe, Dave, Doug, and Jackson (our nephew as the ringbear)

Do you still talk to your wedding party?--Of course... ALL OF THEM!! I am related to two of them, Jami and I still talk about 4 times a week (some more, some less), I don't get to talk to Amy, Kristen and Mary as much as I would like, but when we do talk it is like we haven't been apart much. As for the groomsmen, as you can see James is in Chris' wedding, he was an usher in Austin's wedding and we talk to them a lot. Joe calls and talks when he is not engulfed with his girl (happy for you Joe!!), and we got to see Dave (and Austin) when we were up in Fargo a month or so ago. James is going to see his sisters and Jackson and Caroline (our neice who was only 1 year old the year of our wedding) the same weekend of Chris' wedding.

What was the biggest "disaster" of the wedding?--hmmmmm.... I guess the only thing I could possibly consider a disaster would be that I could hardly stand up straight during our pictures. So my chiropractor friend came in and gave me an adjustment before the wedding started. You can see the video here. It was all better during the wedding, but if he hadn't helped, I wouldn't have made it through the weddding!

Who were your ushers? Can you remember?--Dave Winegar and Dan Nebelsick (I think there was only two!) or was Henry (my cousin) one too.... hmmm... I am going to have to go look at pictures... how frustrating!

Who was the music at your wedding?--Let's see.... James' cousin Susan played the piano, Diane played the organ, Douglas, Brian, and Alex sang a trio, Marie sang, Douglas and Elizabeth sang a duet, and my bridesmaids sang. I then had the bells toll us out of the sanctuary! (did I miss anyone?)

What was the reception like?--It was at Twin Spruce Junior High in their "new" lobby area. We had food, and punch (except the punch ran out before we got there!) and an cake with a fountain in it! We danced, mingled, and then went on our way!

Was rice thrown?No, we filled the fabric "roses" with birdseed. The church wouldn't let us use rice. (I was still finding birdseed in places in my car and suitcase 2 years later)

Who traveled farthest to get to your wedding?--Probably James' family from Louisiana

Did you have a recieving line?-- Yep, the parents and us only.

Transportation?My aunt and uncle took us in a white Mustang convertable around town before we got to the reception, and then to our hotel.

Your favorite memory of the wedding?--how much fun the whole weekend was. We did so much. It truly was a whole wedding weekend!

How many weddings have you been a part of?--hmmmm.... the first wedding I was a part of was my sister's, i was Maid of Honor. Then I was a bridesmaid in Kristen's; singer in Mary's; and Matron of Honor at Jami's. I am waiting for my bro to get married so I can have another one on my list (no pressure Doug!!! :-)

If you have a blog, you should copy and paste this and fill in your own answers. This was fun Kristen!!

Wedding Day Adjustment

One of my bridesmaids took this at my wedding. I finally got it from her. I have to share it. It was taken by Mary Olsen (then Fritson) and I have to explain the back story.

We took pictures before the wedding. During the pictures, my back was killing me. I could hardly stand up straight. Well, we have a family friend who is a chiropractor and he came in before the wedding and straigtened out my back. The problem was, as you will see, I was in my wedding dress at the church. My nephew is in the background and thought he was hurting me too. This is just too funny. You have to watch it all, the funniest moment is close to the end.
